Nationally…the economy is doing very well. National unemployment is very low, the stock market is very high. People are spending alot of money…this is a good thing. Unfortunatly it is happening under a different party then they want it to so the media spins it to be an awfull thing, trying to scare people into not investing and hoping for something bad to happen so when another Dem is in office they can come out and save us from our own stupidity. Ny is doing shitty, but the national economy is doing good. Not that hard to understand.
